Der Band versammelt Beitrage zu den sechs fruhen juristischen Max-Planck-Instituten und der Herausbildung eines rechtswissenschaftlichen Schwerpunkts in der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft. Mit der Ubernahme der fruheren Kaiser-Wilhelm-Institute fur Volkerrecht und Internationales Privatrecht sollte die Rechtswissenschaft eine wichtige Rolle in der Herausbildung einer geisteswissenschaftlichen Sektion der MPG spielen. Ein entscheidender Schritt war die Grundung bzw. Aufnahme gleich drei neuer Institute in den 1960er Jahren. Seitdem sind die juristischen Max-Planck-Institute aus der MPG nicht mehr wegzudenken. Sie sind fur die deutsche und internationale Rechtswissenschaft eine feste Grosse geworden. Die Beitrage beleuchten Entstehung und Entwicklung dieser Institute im Kontext ihrer jeweiligen Fachrichtung und Bedeutung fur die Wissenschaftsgeschichte des Rechts.

During the first part of the twentieth century, German science led the world. The most important scientific institution in Germany was the Kaiser Wilhelm Society, including institutes devoted to different fields of scientific research. These researchers were not burdened by teaching obligations and enjoyed excellent financial and material support. When the National Socialists came to power in Germany, all of German society, including science, was affected. The picture that previously dominated our understanding of science under National Socialism from the end of the Second World War to the recent past - a picture of leading Nazis ignorant and unappreciative of modern science and of scientists struggling to resist the Nazis - needs to be revised. This book surveys the history of Kaiser Wilhelm Institutes under Hitler, illustrating definitively the cooperation, if not collaboration, between scientists and National Socialists in order to further the goals of autarky, racial hygiene, war, and genocide.

The book offers a history of the agricultural sciences in Nazi Germany. It analyzes scientific practice under the Nazi regime, Nazi agricultural policy and autarkic strategies as well as expansion policy in Eastern Europe. It also offers new insights into the Auschwitz concentration camp. It outlines the Nazi’s comprehensive nutritional and agricultural research program intended to prepare Germany for war by raising productivity through scientific means, researching the relation between nutrition and performance at the edge of starvation, and restructuring the agricultural economy of the continent. The book reveals the relation between science and power in Nazi Germany beyond the usual dichotomy that paints scientists in Nazi Germany either as victims of oppression or as sadistic beasts. It shows the involvement of a high ranking scientific elite in the Nazi regime of occupation and looting of cultural goods in the occupied eastern territories – largely for the sake of their own careers. The main audience the book addresses are students of history and the history of science, and anyone interested in the history of Nazi Germany.
